Playback
Play audio through:
This setting adjusts the output device through which Farrago plays audio. By default, it will simply track the System's audio output device, as set in your Sound System Preference. If you like, you can instead tie it to a specific audio device.
Single click to trigger sounds
With this setting, you can configure a global keyboard shortcut which will immediately bring Farrago to the foreground, making it easy to operate Farrago using your keyboard.
See the “Triggering Sounds via the Mouse” section of the Audio Playback page for more details on mouse-based playback.
Global Hotkey
With this setting, you can configure a global keyboard shortcut which will immediately bring Farrago to the foreground, making it easy to operate Farrago using your keyboard.
See the “Global Keyboard Shortcuts” section of the Audio Playback page for more details on using the global hotkey.
Appearance
Choose between Farrago's default Light theme and its Dark theme. The Light theme is designed for everyday use, while the Dark theme is perfect for use in darkened spaces like theaters.
This manual uses the Light theme, but you can easily preview both themes just by toggling this selector, which causes Farrago to update immediately.
